Description

The holiday apartment A Maccia is located in the little village of Ranzo on a wine-growing estate in the lush, green Arroscia valley, easily accessible from Albenga or Imperia. A cool, clear river, running between the estate and the apartment, is perfect for long refreshing dips during the summer.The apartment, located on the first floor, offers ample room for four people, comprising a double bedroom, bunk bedroom, a kitchen with adjoining dining room, and a bathroom with shower. You can relax on the balconies with an absorbing book or just let your eyes wander lazily over the tranquil vineyards. There is a terrace with a barbecue and, behind the house, a delightful garden; both are available for common use. A grocery store in Ranzo will be happy to provide you with fresh rolls daily. The stunning Arroscia valley offers a variety of activities, especially to those who enjoy hiking and cycliing.

location details: Ranzo


This town belonged to the Del Carretto and Clavesana families until the fourteenth century, when Giovanni di Saluzzo, marquis of Clavesana, sold part of his territories to Genoa. Only a few ruins can now be seen of the impressive Clavesana castle that once dominated Ranzo from the western highland.


Known for the genuinely superior quality of its oil and for the production of Pigato white wine, the town has an admirable artistic heritage and a monumental church, the church of San Pantaleo, lying at the foot of the castle. It is of early Romanesque origin, remains of which can be seen in the eleventh-century apse, which is flanked by a late mediaeval apse. The black-stone portico is decorated with fifteenth-century frescoes and has sculpted portals from the Cenova school which are also from the fifteenth century. The interior is frescoed by artists from the Ligurian school. A fine poliptych dating from 1544 showing the Virgin Mary with Saints James and Philip is preserved in the sanctuary of the Madonna delle Vigne, while another one showing the Virgin Mary, attributed to Schiaffino, is kept in the sanctuary of the Madonna della Misericordia.


The parish church of San Bernardo and the adjacent oratory dominate the municipal district of Costa Becelega, which stands on a crest running down from Monte Aquila. Inside the church of Nostra Signora dell'Assunta, built by the Benedictines in the eleventh century and restructured in Baroque times, you can admire the frescoes that decorate the small fifteenth-century suspended portico. Ranzo is a good place to taste snails and go fishing in the Arroscia River. Pietro Guido and his son Giorgio, both fine painters, were born in Ranzo.


special features

During summer, enjoy a bath in the river, which is directly behind your vacation apartment.
Do you like wine? Then taste the good ligurian red or white wine, as well as the Rosé wine from the A Maccia house.

bei der Ausstattung in den Räumen war alles was man braucht. Schön wären ein oder zwei Liegestühle für den Garten gewesen. Objekt war ok. Vermieterin sehr, sehr nett !!!

weniger Deckchen und Tischdecken, aber das ist sicher Geschmacksache. Ansonsten war alles da und alles hat funktioniert. die Osteria Antica in Canata (nächste Ort ins Tal) hat eine gute italienische Küche ohne Schnickschnack, faire Preise, aufmerksamen Service und sehr nette Bedienung ? ein Familienbetrieb. der kleine Laden im Ort bietet alles was man braucht zum guten Preis und die Menschen in Ranzo sind gastfreundlich
